Unable to login if the login directory is NFS mounted ?

[Nicholas Tarnoff]

I have tried several times to manually add a /etc/passwd entry in
order for a user to login to a home directory that is NFS mounted.

The result is that the user has no console or toolchests.

Perhaps there is a default configuration file for the console and
toolchests which is no found when logging into NFS mounted home
directories.

Do you have any idea how to resolve this problem ?

Thank you for your help !
